An IgG IgE blood test is a type of immunoglobulin test that measures the levels of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immunoglobulin E (IgE) in the blood. These are two types of antibodies that play important roles in the immune system. IGG is the most common type of antibody and is involved in long-term protection against infection. IGE is a type of antibody that is produced in response to allergens and is responsible for allergic reactions. This test is commonly ordered to help diagnose allergies, autoimmune disorders, and other conditions that affect the immune system. It can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for these conditions.
